Some things also only work on the older MMI 2G or the newer MMI 3G (see links at the end of this article), mostly the information originates from MMI 2G and Audi A5 unless otherwise mentioned, but it is often relevant for other Audi models and revisions as well. A setting that might work for someone else does not necessarily work for you. The risk is all yours.Īlso note, there may be market-to-market and model-year differences in how these settings affect your car. Please verify any changes you intend to make from other sources as well. I have not personally tried any of the settings listed here, I have collected them from the Internet and provided the links for you to check out the original postings. You can seriously mess up the settings of your car with this tool. WARNING! If you don’t know what you are doing, don’t do anything with VAG-COM. Other VAG-COM cables (like older cables that work with last generation A4 B6/B7 that uses only K line or the more-limited MicroCAN cable that currently only works, in an Audi, with the CAN-only A3) won't work.

Note: For the entire current Audi line-up from A4 B8/A5/A6 up, you need the HEX-CAN cable from Ross-Tech (whether USB or serial, that doesn't matter) because these cars use both older K line and newer CAN buses for diagnostics and only the HEX-CAN cable covers both.
